I am holding a futures contract and wondering what would happen if I keep it until it expires. Will I receive the underlying asset or will the contract just end?

In contrast to futures contracts, options contracts do not impose penalties for not settling before expiration.

Traders have the flexibility to let their options contracts expire if they do not wish to exercise their right to buy or sell the underlying asset.

This flexibility makes options contracts a popular choice for traders who want to hedge their risks or speculate on market movements without the obligation to settle.
